Chapter 1 The Little Mouse Goes Out
The little mouse has been born for a month, and he can run and climb up and down, so the little mouse thinks that he is already a big mouse like his mother, and he can go out to see the world.Who knows, when he mentioned this request to his mother, she immediately shook her head like a rattle and said:
"Going out? No 1 no! It's too dangerous outside."

"I'm only going out for a while, and I'll be back soon," begged the little mouse.Mother softened her heart and agreed.

The little mouse crawled out of the dark hole and came to the ground. Immediately a piece of sunlight shone on him.The little mouse looked left and right, and saw green grass growing on the ground, colorful flowers blooming, and many butterflies and bees flying between the flowers, full of vitality everywhere.

"Ah! The world is so big and wonderful!" The little mouse couldn't help thinking in amazement as he looked at the strange things around him.

He crawled and crawled, and suddenly he saw a strange guy appearing in front of him.This guy has two legs, is covered with colorful feathers, and has a red crown on his head.When he saw the little mouse, he yelled.And spread its wings and stared at him in amazement.

The little mouse was frightened by the strange guy, he thought: "How scary! It must be the enemy." The little mouse quickly slipped away.

The little mouse was walking when he saw a big animal basking in the sun not far away.He was covered in snow white, with a long tail coiled around his body. In his sleep, he meowed twice and licked his mouth. "He is very kind. I will make friends with him in the future." The little mouse thought.

When he got home, the little mouse told his mother what happened today, and the mother said in a panic. "Wow, it's a rooster. It looks scary, but it's not scary. It's a cat that meows. It looks kind, but it's the enemy of mice."

The little mouse said: "I was wrong. From now on, I will never judge a friend or an enemy by appearance!"
